Pics from the Marines inter-platoons cross country competition.
In this race, every platoon (31 personnel) must compete with other platoon in a 8 km cross country marathon carrying a minimum 10 kg backpack, SS-1 Assault weapon, P-5 Walter pistol, standard marines knife, 3 magazines plus helmet and standard BDU.
This race is to test the individual stamina as well as the platoon's fighting spirit.

Indonesian Navy to receive indigenously built LSTs by October
Two landing ship tanks (LSTs) under construction by state-owned shipbuilder PT Dok Kodja Bahari are on track for delivery to the Indonesian Navy (Tentara Nasional Indonesia - Angkatan Laut: TNI-AL) by October 2014, State Enterprises Minister Dahlan Iskan said on 3 June.
The 117 m LSTs were ordered under a 2012 programme to replace the TNI-AL's ageing US and South Korean-built boats for amphibious operations. The vessels are powered by two 3,970 HP engines and can attain a maximum range of 6,240 n miles with a top speed of 16 kt.
Ishan told reporters that the shipbuilder is currently awaiting the arrival of equipment and sensors from South Korea, Germany, and the Netherlands that will be installed on the vessels.

ITB Pioneering Stealth Technology for Tank.
Stealth technology developed for Army tanks (photo: BAE Systems)
TEMPO.CO, Bandung - Infiltration of military vehicles to the enemy side should escape detection from thermal or heat sensor. To that end, the students and faculty of Institute of Technology Bandung or ITB will pioneer Stealth Technology for tanks or infantry carrier. The vehicle have the ability to "disappear" from sight, or "change" shape like an animal or civilian vehicles.
Stealth technology in practice (photo: BAE Systems)
Thermal camouflage for military vehicles are being worked on by Adrian Yopi Gazali, Claudius Andrew, and Gregory Famalt, students of ITB 2010. It's shaped sort of like scales in the form of a copper plate measuring 12.5 inches each side, 0.4 millimeters thick. "Adjust the size of the pixels on the thermal surveillance cameras," said Adrian told Tempo in Electrical Engineering Days event in the West Hall ITB which takes place from 3-6 June 2014.
The scales camouflage will be fitted into the outer coating of the military vehicles. For infantry carrier like Anoa made by Pindad, approximately needed 1,200 scales for outfitting, said Adrian. The installation needed an extra frame to be put on the vehicle.
On the back of each of the scales, the copper plate is connected to a number of major components, such as the heatsink to dissipates heat, the Peltier for cooling or heating, the relay to turn into a hot or cold plates, as well as thermal sensors to get the temperature in the surrounding environment.
Each pair of scales should be installed at opposite positions in order to be able to read the ambient temperature for optimum efficiency. "If you're in the woods or bush, tanks will disappear from sight because the temperature follows the surrounding conditions," he said.
Camouflage scales can also be arranged so that the heat form into an animal or civilian vehicles to deceive the enemy. The camouflage is intended for night operations that generally requires the uses of a thermal camera for monitoring.
According to Adrian, this thesis studies continue testing from last year study that uses plate made out of aluminum. From the results of their tests, the aluminum plate heat slower than copper so its waste more electrical power.
But they also have not been satisfied, because copper is able to heat in 38 seconds, still comparatively slower than peltier components that can produce heat less than five seconds. Peltier thermal conductivity is also better, which ranges from -10 to 70 degrees Celsius, while the copper ranges from 15-30 degrees. "This type of material needed to be studied again" he said.
The biggest problem this technology faces is the use electrical power to camouflage the scales. Each copper scales, for example, it took up to 60 watts of electricity. They have yet to find a way out.

Good achievement from our students, but it seems the infra-camo system can only effective against observer from the side of the vehicle not from the front.
About the electricity consumption i think they should research other materials or maybe composite materials. But still good news to hear.
The BAE system has been developing this technology.

BAE System is a multi-million dollar industry while ours is probably just a small research group.

Yup, i think our national science institution should help them with R&D facilities and sponsoring them with budgets.
For the National Defense Industry, i think the manufacturers of Anoa APC should think of developing the armor protection level from NATO standard Stanag 4569 level 3 to level 4.

Jane's : Indonesian Navy tests upgraded CMS in simultaneous missile attack
Ridzwan Rahmat, Singapore - IHS Jane's Navy International
04 June 2014
The Indonesian Navy (Tentera Nasional Indonesia - Angkatan Laut: TNI-AL) sank a target vessel during test firings of anti-ship missiles (ASMs) via an upgraded combat management system (CMS) on 3 June.
The test firings were carried out as part of ongoing naval exercises conducted by the TNI-AL in the Indian Ocean. According to a statement released by the TNI-AL's Komando Armada RI Kawasan Timur (KOARMATIM, Eastern Fleet), a decommissioned personnel transport vessel used as target, KRI Karang Banteng , was hit simultaneously by four ASMs during the exercise.
Two Diponegoro (Sigma)-class corvettes, KRI Sultan Hasanuddin and KRI Sultan Iskandar Muda , each fired an MBDA MM 40 Exocet Block II missile while two Ahmad Yani (Van Speijk)-class guided missile frigates, KRI Abdul Halim Perdanakusuma and KRI Yos Sudarso , each launched a C-802 missile from over-the-horizon locations at the target.

Indonesian air force to build air base in West Kalimantan
Mon, June 9 2014 22:23 |
Sungai Raya, W Kalimantan (ANTARA News) - The Indonesian Air Force (TNI AU) will soon build a type C air base of at Temajuk in Sambas district, West Kalimantan province, to strengthen security in the area bordering Malaysia.
"Today we will scrutinize the preparations for the construction of an air base in the area. We will build an air base there to prevent illegal acts including alleged annexation of our state borders," Assistant for Operations to the Air Force Chief of Staff Rear Marshal Sudipo Handoyo said when paying a working visit to the Supadio Air Base in Pontianak, West Kalimantan, on Monday.
During the visit, Sudipo was accompanied by Chief of the Air Force Operation Command Rear Marshal M Syaugi and Commander of the Air Force Special Troop Corps Rear Marshal M Harpin Ondeh.
From the Supadio Air Base, Sudipo and entourage went straight to Temajuk to check the location for the air base of type C.
"We have come to Sambas to check the truth of the alleged construction of a lighthouse in the border area. By doing so, they (Malaysia) know that we will not remain silent to defend the sovereignty of our state," he said.

LAPAN RX 550 Program Cooperate With Ukraine
Feb 222014
Roket RX 550 LAPAN (photo: Okezone.com)
JakartaGreater 22/02/2014: Setelah beberapa kali gagal, Lembaga Penerbangan dan Antariksa Nasional (Lapan) berencana meluncurkan kembali roket RX 550. Untuk mencapai keberhasilan ini, Lapan bekerjasama dengan National Space Agency of Ukraine (NSAU) dalam pengembangan nosel termasuk di dalamnya kesepakatan untuk proses alih teknologi.
Saat berbincang dengan Kapusroket Lapan, Dr. Rika Adiarti mengaku kerjasama dengan NSAU sudah berlangsung sejak 2012. Saat ini tim Lapan bersama NSAU sedang merperbaiki tabung motor dan nosel roket RX-550 yang gagal pada beberapa kali percobaan.
“Untuk desain tetap dari kami. Mereka membantu pengembangan lainnya,”
Bahan baku untuk roket pun sudah dipersiapkan dan direncanakan roket RX-550 akan diuji statis kembali pada semester 2 tahun 2014. Untuk sementara, nosel dan tabung roket akan diuji terlebih dahulu menggunakan roket yang lebih kecil seperti RX-420 ke bawah.
Sayangnya, saat ini alat-alat yang dipakai Tim Lapan sudah banyak yang tidak layak. Berbeda dengan dengan di NSAU, Rika mengaku tim Ukraina sangat dibantu pemerintahnya melalui anggaran yang besar, fasilitas yang memadai dan alat-alat bagus.
RX 550 Lapan
Meski kepedulian pemerintah dalam Research and Development (R&D) peroketan belum maksimal, Rika bersama tim optimis bisa mengharumkan nama bangsa melalui RX-550.
“Anggaran belum maksimal Mas. Banyak alat-alat yang harus diganti. Ada beberapa peralatan yang harganya mahal. Tim kita yang di Ukraina banyak belajar dengan teknologi yang lengkap di sana. Tapi kita tetap yakin roket ini akan berfungsi untuk negara kita,”
Apakah roket ini akan digunakan juga untuk pembuatan rudal balistik?. Saat ini tim Lapan menurut Rika, masih mengembangkannya. Mereka akan tetap fokus untuk keberhasilan roket. Masalah penggunaan roket, bisa dibahas setelah roket RX-550 berhasil meluncur.

Roket RX-550 Lapan
RX-55- adalah roket berdiameter 550 mm dengan panjang 6 meter dan merupakan penyempurnaan dari roket sebelumnya yakni RX-420. Roket berbahan bakar hydroxyl toluen poly butadiene (HPTB) ini dapat mencapai ketinggian 150 km dan daya jangkau di atas 200 km. Untuk pengembangannya, roket ini didanai sebesar Rp. 5 milliar.
Pada tahun 29 September 2012 silam, RX-550 diuji statis di stasiun pengamatan dirgantara Lapan, Pameungpeuk, Garut – Jawa Barat. Sayangnya, uji statis ini mengalami masalah pada desain struktur nosel tidak kuat menahan tingginya suhu pembakaran dan berakibat lepasnya material nosel sebelum pembakaran propelan.
